this is really weird I'm not gunna lie, but I'm doing a exam review for my science class at SHS and your question is written just like the question for my chapter 7 objectives and my teacher wrote all the questions 0.o WEIRD!
ok this answer did not help me whatsoever.
i hate you.

What are the two main types of cementation?
the first is when new mineral grows between sediment grains as dissolved minerals precipitate out of ground water, the second is when existing mineral grows larger as more of the same mineral precipitates from ground water and crystallizes around them.
What general rock feature does a geologist look for in a sedimentary rock to determine the distance the rock has traveled from its place of origin?
I think you might be referring to what is called textural maturity. It is assumed that a rock with high textural maturity has traveled a longer distance, as high maturity corresponds to more processes acting on the sediment and a longer time between erosion and deposition. Features to look for to determine maturity are grain size sorting, angularity/roundedness, and composition purity. Same-sized grains, round grains, and a single mineral type all indicate high textural maturity (this sediment forming this rock traveled far). A wide range of grain sizes, grains that are jagged, and a lot of different mineral grain types, all point to low textural maturity (this rock formed near it's source). And you can have combinations inbetween.
Is deposition the same as erosion?
No, deposition is the laying down or addition of sediments whereas erosion is the process of removal and transportation of sediment.
What is the difference between a till and a moraine?
Till is the mixture of sediment that glaciers deposit and a moraine is the same thing, but just deposited at the edges of a glacier.
What is the foreshock of an earthquake?
NOUN:: A minor tremor of the earth that precedes a larger earthquake originating at approximately the same location. NOUN:: A minor tremor of the earth that precedes a larger earthquake originating at approximately the same location.
When all the particles in a sediments are about the same size the sediment is said to be?
well sorted
Why do the numbers of moons varies in the solar system?
For approximately the same reason the number of grains of sand varies on the beach.
Are all the particles of sediment the same size?
no
What does FG mean in cooking?
It means a few grains. Same as a pinch.

What kind of agent of erosion moves the same amount of sediment as ice?
water moves a greater amount of sediment in a much faster way
Could a fast flowing river carry very little sediment?
Fast moving water can carry more sediment. Firstly because the potential of erosion rises with flow speed; secondly because larger grains can be transported by faster water and thirdly because the volume flow per unit time increases with flow speed. The actual amount / concentration of sediment transported by a stream is very dependent on the geology of the catchment, i.e. the amount of soft sediment available for erosion.
Why are all grains of rice the same?
All grains of rice are NOT the same ! - There are literally thousands of different kinds of rice all with different tastes and properties.

How do you convert pennyweights to grams?
Divide grams by 1.555 to get pennyweightsA pennyweight (dwt) is a unit of mass which is the same as 24 grains, 1/240th of a troy pound, 1/20th of a troy ounce, approximately 0.055 ounces or approximately 1.555 grams.
What sediment mean?
the same thing like for example: CAR, BIKE, OR BUS
Will the amount of sediment in the muddy water will remain the same?
It doesn't ... its always changing.
